The effectiveness of stormwater management programs depends largely on how well and how safely stormwater control measures (SCMs) perform over time. The importance of maintenance and the significant numbers of SCMs have created the need for guidance on how stormwater programs must adapt to address evolving SCM design and maintenance requirements, climate change and resilience, and integration of asset management concepts to reduce long-term program costs. This manual meets that need with best practices for maintenance programs, as well as case studies to show how a variety of utilities have implemented them. The material covered will be of particular use to designers of SCMs, utility managers, and O&M staff.

Focusing on Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), this book provides an in-depth examination of its significance in wastewater treatment, tracing its historical evolution from the 1800s to the present. It addresses common complaints from professionals regarding BOD testing, while detailing its role in evaluating treatment processes. The text includes comprehensive discussions on related topics like sediment oxygen demand and chemical oxygen demand, along with a thorough review of peer-reviewed literature, making it an essential resource for technicians and engineers alike.

Focusing on membrane bioreactors, this resource outlines best practices for wastewater treatment. It starts with fundamental principles of membrane and biological processes, then delves into integrated process design specific to these systems. The book discusses the unique physical design features of membrane bioreactors and the procurement of necessary equipment. Additionally, it provides insights into the operation of facilities designed for optimal membrane bioreactor performance, making it an authoritative guide for industry professionals.

Focused on wastewater laboratory procedures, this manual provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for general wet chemistry, activated sludge tests, and bacteriological testing, all aligned with Standard Methods and EPA guidelines. Each procedure features a sample benchsheet and emphasizes quality assurance and control. The introduction to each method explains its purpose and relevance for process control, while typical parameter ranges help analysts assess sample appropriateness, ensuring the production of precise and defensible analytical data.

Focusing on the operation, management, and maintenance of water resource recovery facilities, this comprehensive guide offers the latest insights into recovering essential resources like water, nutrients, and energy. It covers advanced topics such as activated sludge, anaerobic digestion, and biological nutrient removal while incorporating updated information on safety, maintenance, and odor management. Technological advancements in instrumentation and control systems are also addressed, making this an essential reference for professionals in the wastewater treatment industry.

This WEF publication serves as a comprehensive summary of water reclamation technologies and practices for minimizing liquid discharge for a broad range of industries. It begins with an overview of factors influencing industry to seek to minimize liquid discharges, followed by a review of alternative technologies, performance expectations, management framework, sustainability tools, and concludes with case studies with input from academia, equipment manufacturers, consultants, and industry. This publication will be of use to practitioners, consultants, management, and R&D professionals who want a timely update on the technologies in use and on those technologies on the horizon to provide the highest rates of water recovery in industrial practice. The industrial sectors covered include the oil and gas sector (unconventional oil and gas, produced and petroleum refining water), pharmaceutical, textile, automotive, manufacturing, energy, and food and beverage. The book covers a much broader perspective than North America, including technology development and sustainable applications within the water scarce yet growing regions of Central and South America, Asia, and the Middle East.

This manual, a revision of the Water Environment Federation's (WEF's) and the American Society of Civil Engineer's (ASCE's) manual of practice (MOP) titled Urban Runoff Quality Management (1998), takes a holistic view and espouses the concept that systems of stormwater controls can be designed to meet the various objectives of stormwater management, including flood control; stream channel protection; groundwater recharge; water quality improvement; protection of public safety, health, and welfare; and multipurpose public benefits such as the provision of open space, parks, playgrounds, trails, wildlife habitat, and enhancement of property values. This MOP focuses on consolidating technologies under a comprehensive view of stormwater management in an attempt to foster convergence between traditional stormwater controls and green infrastructure. Developed by WEF and ASCE.
